PL AY WRIGHT NOTES What happens after we die? What happens to the people we leave behind? It was out of these two questions that the idea for Ghost Bike sprang. Feeling that most stories about death were divided too simply into black-and-white, heaven-and-hell, something-and-nothing, I decided to delve more deeply into the underworld and afterlife myths from cultures around the world. Contained in the play are elements of Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Norse, Korean, Mesopotamian, and Congolese mythology about the dead and the people who pursue them into Yomi, Diyu, the Ten Courts of Hell, the Asphodel Meadows, and beyond. These stories, written centuries ago and in places thousands of miles away from each other, contain startling similarities. All of them grapple with the same central issue: our unwillingness to let our loved ones go after they’ve passed away, and our fascination with where they might have gone. In Ghost Bike, Ora, not content to be left only with memories, pursues her friend into a literal “underworld:” a city below the one she explored with Eddie. Convinced she can find a way to bring him back to the city above, she battles ghosts, creatures from some of the most famous myths, and her own demons. But ultimately – just like all of us – she must find a way to cope with her friend’s death, and decide how to memorialize him.
D I R E C TO R ’ S N O T E S Five years ago my colleagues and I envisioned an initiative that would become a cornerstone of the theatre department and create an identity that makes Carthage College Theatre unique. The idea was to commission a new play each year and premiere the productions at Carthage during the spring semester. GHOST BIKE is the fourth original work we have commissioned and each project has brought its share of challenges and learning experiences. Each production has also explored very different themes and ideas and given us an array of stories and styles of performance. In GHOST BIKE it was easy to be drawn in conceptually by a retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth while chasing around the streets of Chicago and the Underworld on fixies, BMX’s, and other types of velocipedes. The task then was to bring it all to life with 18 different locations and a dozen different time periods and styles of dress. Student scenic designer Shannon Meyer, Kim Instenes faculty costume designer and I had several concept/design meetings trying to work through the puzzle of places and people and how we could align our choices, and create a multifaceted and timeless world. Playwright Laura Jacqmin attended rehearsals, answered questions, and gave us rewrites even as we approached opening night. This part of the process reflects the nature of working with a playwright on original work and the importance of creative problem solving and collaborative interaction. From workshops, to design meetings, to auditions, to opening night the value of this experience is immeasurable. The process has so many challenges, but it is the truest test of our work as theatre artists, and our goals as theatre educators. 6 Carthage College
D R A M AT U R G I C A L N O T E S ( c o n t .) Seminal mythologist Joseph Campbell defines the function of a mythology as a cultural framework for a society or people to educate their young, and to provide them with a means of coping with their passage through the different stages of life from birth to death. In “Ghost Bike,” the main character Ora grapples with her best friend’s death through literal and figurative mythology. Ora both encounters and tells herself stories which force us to consider the impact of mythology. What do the stories we tell say about ourselves? What do they actually DO for us? What happens when stories are no longer needed; where do they go? Ora and Eddie are the modern-day versions of a common mythological story: unable to cope with Eddie’s death, Ora follows him to the Underworld to bring him back. The Japanese version is grim and disturbing with siblings committing incest to bring their parents back to life, reflecting a value of parental honor at all cost. The Greek version is a sad romance that does not end well and tries to make sense of death, love, and the afterlife all at once. Like her Greek counterpart Orpheus, Ora is driven underground mostly by the story she has told herself, which is that she cannot live without Eddie and vice-versa. As Ora journeys further through the Underworld to find Eddie, she discovers a rich world inhabited by too-hip ghosts, curious creatures and sinister gods. Some are Norse, some are Chinese and some are Greek. In most mythologies the Underworld is not the JudeoChristian Hell. Many cultures view the Underworld as continuations of life, just not with the living part. There are great rewards and great punishments in some myths, but it’s more of an unknown place rather than something to fear. On her first stop in the Underworld, Ora meets characters unsure of where they are. They struggle to grasp what they are doing. While Ora is also struggling, she knows exactly why she’s in the Underworld. Most of the characters she meets know exactly what roles they are to play. And it’s not pretty. Perhaps they have gone unchecked by a modern world that no longer needs them as much. Or maybe they reflect Ora’s grim state of mind. As she gets deeper, we must ask do the mythologies control Ora, or does she control them? Once stories are created, do they take on a life of their own, or remain under human domain? Ora struggles against the stories of others and the stories she tells herself. She discovers personal and cultural mythologies can help make sense of facts but also blind oneself to truth. Much like the humans that create it, mythology is complex, nuanced, and tricky. Mythology gives us values, identities, community, explanation, duality, initiation, consciousness, origin, meaning and sometimes, the answer we really need.
